New computer new Windows 10, new MSFS2020 install crash to desktop with USB joysticks plugged in

You just helped me tackle three issues with your last post! First of all, unchecking the box worked like a charm! After unchecking the box in Steam, I erased all the files in my Steam data folder and proceeded to load MSFS (even with the suspected joystick plugged in that caused the program to crash before). Well, MSFS loaded up! I was also presented with initial option screens that I had never seen before too! (That was the second issue you helped me with). Another issue was that my version of MSFS proceeded to update to today’s UK version (something that it wouldn’t do earlier today before I unchecked that box in Steam and deleted the old files). I was very pleased with this third surprise. However, I must have also deleted my flight log, because my log showed zero entries. But you told me to backup everything before starting all of this, which I did, so I copied the old logbook file into the Steam folder and all is good! Thankyou for all of your efforts!!! Do you work for Microsoft or Asobo lol?!
